It's a SMP kernel. There is no 'HT enable' in the BIOS setup.
In fact, there is very little that can be set and, it's even
very hard to convince it that I want to boot from a SCSI and
not from the first disk it finds. One has to remove the battery
to discharge the CMOS so it won't ignore the 'Del' key
on startup. It's a very bad BIOS or a very bad board, I
don't know which.
